In granting a faculty for the reordering of a parish church, the chancellor stated that the consistory court would pay little regard to informal petitions of signatures gathered in opposition to a faculty application, noting:

  1. i. That there is a statutory procedure for registering opposition to a faculty application; and

  2. ii. That there was no guarantee that the signatories were entitled to oppose any such faculty application. [RA]
